Sat Nav/GPS

Sat Nav (or GPS) can be pre-booked, to help you get around in your hire car. You also get to choose your car hire supplier and the type of car. Some suppliers will include the Sat Nav in the rental price. Look for the logo.

FCH Choice System

In 2012, you will also be able to select your car hire from our FCH Choice range of car hire.This searches up to 10 car rental companies, to get the car you want, at the price you want. This is very useful for those booking car hire at the last minute. However, you only find out the car hire company name after booking, but they will be a well known company.

Who we use

Worldwide, we offer a choice of top quality car rental suppliers such as Hertz, Budget, Avis, and Alamo and Dollar. However, we also let you book with the smaller car hire company, such as Auto Jardim in Portugal, Goldcar in Spain, Maggiore in Italy, Thai Rent a Car in Thailand and Kasina in Malaysia.

Excess Information and Cover

We offer car hire with no excess in many locations. If an excess does apply, then we will offer you an option to purchase additional insurance with CHARTIS, which will cover any excess liability.

One way rentals

We also offer one way car rental in countries like America, Canada, Australia, Spain, Italy and the UK.

Fees may apply on one way rentals, so make an obligation fee inquiry and, if the system has not already done so, we will then advise, as sometimes it depends on length of car rental, pickup and drop off location etc.

For example, in Florida and California, there is no way fee, within those states. In Thailand, you need to hire a car for at least three days, if going from Bangkok to, say, Phuket.

6 to 15 seater SUV & MPV hire

Looking for something a bit larger than a car to hire? We also offer a wide range of SUV's that can seat up to 8 people, and MPV's that can seat 15 passengers.

What is Included and THREE Good Reasons to Book with Us

1: All Inclusive Packages and Choice

Being independent allows us to work with multiple suppliers which in turn allows us to offer a wide range of car rental packages, all our quotes includes all mandatory charges as listed below, a few exception do occur for example Mileage is restricted in a few countries such as Australia and Canada. Exceptions are clearly stated in both the supplier package details and in the supplier important information document.

In USA we can offer packages that include free drivers, free tank of petrol, skiing equipment and satellite navigation. In most countries we have at least one partner who will offer zero excess or offer a free additional driver so when making a quote remember to compare not only the price but the supplier package.

2: Best Price and No Hidden Fees

Other brokers may display an attractive price be wary as you go deeper into the booking process extra costs such as booking fees and credit card charges may start appearing. We say no to hidden charges.

• No hidden costs
• No cancellation or amendment charges (minimum 24 hours notice required)
• No credit card charges
• No booking fees

3: Best customer service promise

Whilst we work with national suppliers such as Budget, Sixt and Europcar we also recognize that local suppliers can also provide a first class service and some times better value for money. For example in Portugal we have partnered with Auto Jardim, in Turkey we work with Almira, in Spain we work with Gold Car, Auriga Crown and Automotive.

All our partners have passed our internal service level requirements in additional we carry out regular customer service reviews and act accordingly. We would highlight on exception if your are renting a car in the USA be aware the agents works on commission so even though you have full cover with zero excess and all mandatory charges included the agent will try his best to up sell.

• Condition of fleet and safety equipment
• 24 hour customer hotline with breakdown cover
• Monitor and act on customer feedback
• Wide range of packages (some zero access - see Important Information)
• Ability to quickly amend, cancel and print off your rental voucher online

Such a relief to have had that as was very nervous when I got there - this was the first time I had hired a car and driven abroad. Returning the car was just as easy.

Rented FFAR Toyota Vigo Double Cab 4WD in: Bangkok

Overall Experience : Prices have always been competitive
Supplier Service: Budget service has always been excellent. Pleasant staff usually with limited English. Never had any problems about claims of damage to the car. If returning the car to the airport it is very difficult to find fuel nearby so fill the car before entering the expressway. Handover of the car at the airport can take some time so allow for this when calculating when to arrive for check in.
Car: I always hire pick up trucks. They usually have minor scratches and dents which are well documented on the condition report, however the interiors are always clean and the vehicles are in excellent mechanical condition

Rented IDMR Ford Focus in: Paphos Airport Intl

Overall Experience : The main reason for using them was the value for money. Having only paid an initial deposit the remainder of the cost paid at the airport desk was exactly as indicated without any hidden extras. The company uses firms with desks at the airport. This is better than trying to find a man with a clipboard. The staff at the desk spoke perfect English, which helped greatly.
Supplier Service: The staff at the desk spoke perfect English, which helped greatly. They did not rush through the booking procedure.
